The printer must be cleaned regularly of accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on the types of media run, paper dust may accumulate within the printer and on the transport. Before cleaning the printer, unplug it from the power receptacle.

External areas may be cleaned with any non-abrasive standard household cleaner that does not contain plastic harming solvents.

  1. Use the media thickness knob to raise the printhead carriage assembly to its highest setting.
